Question
Assume that you are carrying out the dehydration of 1-methylcyclohexanol to yield 1-methylcyclohexene. How could you use infrared spectroscopy to determine when the reaction is complete?
Step 1
We are dehydrating 1-methylcyclohexanol, which means we are removing a water molecule from it. This results in the formation of 1-methylcyclohexene, which is an alkene. Show more…
